Fluidr / Color on the Delta by Darvin Atkeson

Okay, a break between firework shots before the 4th is upon us. I still have many good images of the Golden Gate Bridge 75th Anniversary celebration but it's time to mix it up a bit and keep it fun.

It was one of those days that most photographers dread. Working around the house doing necessary and usually neglected chores. In my case, mowing the lawn. As the light to the west started to fade I looked up to see the colors were starting to look incredible on the skies over the Sacramento River just a mile or so from my house. I grabbed the camera bag which was fortunately ready to go and headed down to a little hidden park just off Railroad Ave.

I found this tree that seemed to be confused as to if it was Spring or Fall. The recent cool spell had caused it to start to display some Fall color even though it was still early spring. The colorful leaves compliment the bright oranges and yellows in the storm clouds that had blown in and the reflections in the river.
